A DRUNK man threatened to urinate on officers as he was being to custody in a police car.

Phillip Jason Higgins, 29, of Green Lane in Shotton, admitted a public order offence and damaging a police car by kicking a door.

Police earlier received a phone call to saw two men were fighting close to the Boat House pub in Connah’s Quay. CCTV captured the defendant and another man fighting, which caused traffic to build up in both directions.

Higgins was later arrested nearby, handcuffed and searched. He was drunk, made threats and was aggressive towards police.

As he was taken in the police car he took off his seat belt, attempted to open his trousers and said he would urinate over the officers.

Phillip Marshall-Thomas, defending, said Higgins had been to a friend’s funeral and had drunk too much at the wake.

Deputy District Judge Gwyn Jones said the defendant had behaved in a disgraceful way.

Higgins was placed on a 12-month community order with 160 hours unpaid work and £85 costs.
